John Wayne's last film with mentor and long-time collaborator John Ford (The Searchers) is a 1963 comedy about a group of war veterans settled on a South Pacific island. When the daughter of one of them (Jack Warden) comes for a visit, the freewheeling status quo between the boys is disrupted. This is Ford in his chummy, amiable, roughhousing mode--think of Victor McLaglen's drunken fight scene in Ford's She Wore a Yellow Ribbon--and it is entirely pleasurable. Wayne is comfortable in his man's-man role, and Lee Marvin (who played Wayne's nemesis in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) is effectively roguish. --Tom Keogh
Product Description
Producer-director John Ford once again demonstrates his successful formula for rambunctious, combative comedy and romance in this action-packed John Wayne classic. Life on a South Pacific island for two ex-Navy buddies (John Wayne and Lee Marvin) is just about perfect - they spend most of their time on Donovan's Reef, the local saloon where they brawl and feud and somehow manage to stave off the sameness of tropical living. Then, into this mayhem arrives Elizabeth Allen, a straight-laced Bostonian in search of her father,

 Enjoyable Movie October 21, 2009

I bought this DVD for a gift for someone who is a big John Wayne fan. I already own the movie. It is an enjoyable and fun movie to watch. I know the person I bought it for will enjoy it a lot too.

Once again, John Wayne teams up with John Ford's great american direction, showing the realistic lives of people, whether from Polynesia or america. Along with an all star cast it is a light hearted potrayal of Lives shortly after WW II in the eastern islands, while also addressing the racism of the era.
The cinematography and sound track is breath taking while it tugs at your heart. I have had this on VHS for decades, but the DVD is much more of a high quality.

I purchased this video at the request of a resident I take care of, who resides in a nursing home. We used this movie for "Movie Night" and all the residents who watched it, enjoyed it a great deal. The video was in excellent condition and thoughly enjoyed by all.
